cost is required by Rec Sports.
The fee is designed to cover
costs and also keep people inter
ested in playing, Meyer said.
“It is really frustrating in free
leagues when half the people in
your league start losing and just
give up,” Meyer said. “If we
require that people pay some
thing, it gives them a reason to
keep following their team.”
Fantasy football is scored
using the previous weekends’
NFL statistics. For the Rec
Sports intramural, each fantasy
player picks 14 NFL players to
make up his team during an in-
person “draft" run by a Rec
Sports representative. Each
week before any NFL games
are played, the fantasy player
chooses eight players, two run
ning backs, three receivers, a
quarterback, a kicker and an
NFL team’s defense to play that
week verses another fantasy
player within his or her league.
Points are awarded for various
statistics which NFL players
accomplished during their games.
The 40 intramural partici
pants are divided randomly into
four leagues of 10.
Tim Flynn, a senior political
science major and fantasy football
enthusiast with 10 teams, said the
competition and trash talking
drew him to fantasy football.
“My roommate got me start
ed in his league three years ago
and l really liked how competi
tive it was,” Rynn said.
Fantasy Football is offered
as a Rec Sports Intramural even
though it is not a physical game
because it is sports related and
it is a good place to organize
intramurals. Meyer said.
Meyer said golf and
NASCAR could be in the future.

Funds
Continued from page 1
for homeland security research. Instead, Gramm
said the federal government will dole out funds to
various research institutions to focus on their area of
expertise.
For example, schools with established expertise
on animal diseases, such as A&M, Colorado State
University and the University of California at Davis,
would have a natural advantage in securing bio-ter
rorism research funds. But other schools may be
more qualified to handle electronic security and
other aspects of homeland defense.
“Merit, not politicians, will decide who gets
research money,” Gramm said.
A&M System Deputy Chancellor Jerry Gaston,
who accompanied Gramm on the tour, said the
University’s goal is to secure more funding for its
research, and not necessarily to be designated a
national research center for homeland security.
“A&M is involved in a variety of research enter
prises that have practical applications, and that will
make us extremely competitive [for homeland secu
rity research funds],’’ Gaston said.
Gramm discussed proposed military action in
Iraq, saying he would support a congressional reso
lution authorizing President Bush to use force it
necessary to topple Saddam Hussein.
Some Senate Democrats want a resolution that
will support military action only under the auspices
of the U.N., but Gramm was confident the effort
would be defeated. Iraq’s development of weapons
of mass destruction constitutes a clear threat to
national security, Gramm said, and America does
not need U.N. permission to protect itself.
“In the end, we can and will go it alone if we
have to,” Gramm said. “I know the president well,
and it will happen.”
The homeland security hill is still bogged down
in Congress, Gramm said, because labor unions
refuse to budge on civil service protections for
employees in the new department of homeland
security. The current bureaucracy is unworkable.
Gramm said, because it is too difficult to remove
incompetent federal employees.
In organizing this new department, the president
has got to have the power to put the right person in
the right place at the right time, Gramm said.
